Well thats why alex acosta is so highly regarded in conservative circles. Getting epstein to take a deal with zero evidence against him is mind flayer level lawyering.

As soon as Epstein died, it was clear that the public statements about the circumstances surrounding his death was absolutely sketchy. One of the most high-profile people to be held in prison, and they completely botched it? It was absolutely a coverup. Would not be surprised if the info he would give up would put any presidential hopefuls at the time at risk of winning the election either.
It would have caused international scandals too. I think they had to cover it up… anything to save face of the leadership/the .01%
The leaderships face is not being saved. Epstein was an intelligence honeypot.
It's known that he and Maxwell would traffic minors to get incriminating video on people so they would become assets of multiple intelligence agencies.
That is suspected. Can you link to anything that increases the certainty?
Not because I'm being a dick, but because evidence would be interesting and useful.
It's more of an open secret.
So no then?
The abusers are being saved. They’re Epstein and his clients, who happen to be at the top of the food chain.
Think about who is saving the abusers.
It's not a food chain. It's about power.
Trump is blackmailing at least one other person on the client list. It's the only way I can make sense of the fact they said they were going to release it and then didn't.
So not because trump is implicit in his closest friend for decades actions?
Its crazy how Pam Bondi the Attorney General says there was no epstein files client list when a few months ago she said on live tv that she was currently reviewing the epstein files client list
She tried to walk back the comments about the file being on her desk, except she made those comments multiple times on different shows. She promised results within days, then nothing. Suddenly there is no list, and right wing news shows are now even saying Epstein wasn’t a bad guy and was set up
Next itll be that there was no Epstein. He was made up by the Democrats who are secretly in cahoots with China or some shit
It will be technically correct. As in, no one has put all Epstein's client's names together in one group, so there has never been a (master) list.
We know that Prince Andrew is somewhere so there can't be zero clients.
There may never have been a full list, but there was a little black book from 2008 or so. It's a list of names and phone numbers. Donald Trump has four numbers listed.
The problem is, there were also arguably innocent people in that book as well. Epstein was a piece of shit, but he was a piece of shit who liked to give money to charity. He also liked to hang out with smart people, like actual scientists and such.
Just saying that by itself, the black book is fairly weak. Combined with other evidence, and it could be a client list.
Wait a second. You're saying this piece of evidence that would be the starting point to investigations of everyone on that list is weak?
And, that could very easily be combined with the videos, and only after substantiating evidence is found would anyone be charged with a crime.
That's how investigations normally work.
You take one piece of evidence, combine it with more evidence, and eventually you have a full case.
The Feds have the back book (and so does the internet, because it was leaked online). The feds also have a lot of video that I personally don't want to see, but it should be enough to connect at least a few names.
The fact that they refuse to connect any names means that Trump is in too many of those videos.
It's sketchy but also feasibly explained by incompetence. "Oh yeah I just started on that homework assignment last night" tier of bullshit.
I'm struggling to reconcile this with the previous reason given for not releasing the files, that they were a national security risk. So, releasing no evidence would have been a risk to national security after Epstein was dead?
Trump probably collected millions in extortion money from everybody on that list
The government lies.
It doesn't matter when or where you read this, it's always true.
Yes and no. It depends on the part of the government in question.
Take the Government Accountability Office. I pretty much trust anything they put out. The same goes for NASA, and until this year, NOAA.
OSHA also tends to get a pass.
Homeland Security or the FBI? My sodium intake becomes dangerously high.
And that's even before Trump returned to power.
sodium intake becomes dangerously high
Perhaps switch to black salt?
The expression is, take it with a grain of salt.
https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/take-with-a-grain-of-salt.html
The subtext being that the FBI and Homeland Security lie so much, that if you take everything they say with a grain of salt, you'll be at risk of dying from too much salt.
